import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
            // creating and initializing
            // JapaneseDate Object
            JapaneseDate hidate
                = JapaneseDate.now();
  
            // getting JapaneseChronology
            // used in LocalDate
            JapaneseChronology crono
                = hidate.getChronology();
  
            // getting JapaneseEra for the
            // given integer value
            // by using eraOf() method
            JapaneseEra era = crono.eraOf(0);
  
            // display the result
            System.out.println(
                "JapaneseEra is: "
                + era);
        }
        catch (DateTimeException e) {

            // used in LocalDate
            JapaneseChronology crono
                = hidate.getChronology();
  
            // getting JapaneseEra for the
            // given integer value
            // by using eraOf() method
            JapaneseEra era = crono.eraOf(2);
  
            // display the result
            System.out.println("JapaneseEra is: "
                               + era);
